Saint John: Kennebecasis River
Among the places of New Brunswick, Saint John stands out for its position at the mouth of the Saint John River on the Bay of Fundy. The Kennebecasis River, a tributary that joins the Saint John River north of the urban core, broadens in its lower course into a tidal waterway with settled and wooded banks. This river setting belongs to a port city shaped by the Bay of Fundy’s exceptional tides. Saint John was incorporated in 1785, making it Canada’s oldest incorporated city. Its waterfront and river corridors remain central to connections between neighbourhoods, recreation and maritime commerce.

Saint John straddles the lower Saint John River where it meets the Bay of Fundy in southern New Brunswick, and that tidal meeting point has long shaped it as an Atlantic port. The Bay of Fundy’s exceptional tides drive the Reversing Falls Rapids, where changing water levels can reverse the river’s flow. Uptown’s brick commercial streets reflect rebuilding after the Great Fire of 1877, while the Saint John City Market opened in 1876. Incorporated in 1785, Saint John is recognized as the first incorporated city in what is now Canada.
